Hi, I'm Dianne aka Arwen's daughter. I found this board shortly before ROTK was released but didn't sign up until a few months after the release. I remember hearing about some great fantasy series based on these great books, I don't even know how I'd heard about it, and I read FOTR and enough of TTT right before I saw the first movie. I immediately read The Hobbit and the Sil, and I desperately need to reread LOTR as I haven't since the films came out.

I'm in Kanas. I graduated from the University of Kansas just last May with a bachelor's in classical antiquity and art history. I'm officially taking some time out before grad school, though that time is getting longer and longer. Right now I work for the family direct marketing business.

Let's see, I'm an all around sci-fi geek. I dabble in a lot of things, but am a master of none. I read, write, paint, sew sci-fi costume, take photos, make movies, but none of them well enough to make a living out of. I'm a fan of ancient history and modern art and the beach when I can get to one.
